Zadnja trka sezone održala se u Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi
Max Verstappen postaje šampion formule 1 prvi put u karijeri nakon kontroveznog završetka zadnje trke sezone u Abu Dhabiu kada je pretekao Lewis Hamiltona nakon kasne intervencije Safety Car-a
We’re feeling good, let’s see what the tyres will do in the race. We’re confident the tyres will be decent. It’s the right tyre for the start. A lot of things can happen, yeah, looking forward to it!
Max Verstappen
I’ve just got to prepare in the best way possible, I’ve given it absolutely everything. I’m doing what I absolutely love. Best energy I can. We don’t know what the strategy will be, we did a good job getting through on the medium tyres in Q2. I think it’s the right strategy. We’ll give it everything with what we have.
Lewis Hamilton
Nakon safety car-a Verstappen i Hamilton su bili jedan do drugog do krivine 5 gde je Verstappen pretekao Hamiltona nakon čega je pobedio trku sa razmakom od 2.2 sekunde ispred Hamiltona
Time je postao prvi Holandski šampion Formule 1
“Lewis is an amazing driver, an amazing competitor, he really made it really hard for us and everybody loves to see that. Of course the two teams run against each other and we have tough times but I think that’s part of the sport, it’s emotion, everyone wants to win. It could have gone either way today but for sure next year we’ll try again, come back, and hopefully do it all over again.”
Max Verstappen
Mercedes AMG Petronas je izjavio da će se žaliti na odluku da se Safety Car izvuče iz trke u zadnjem krugu time omogućivši da Verstappen pretekne Hamiltona u zadnjem krugu
